Even if it is true it is a bad example of poor grammar or lack of knowledge. It's like someone saying NIC card instead of simply NIC. Yeah just NIC is the correct version but as it isn't widely known why my a big deal about it?

If you can get these 5 things working together (it isn't hard trust me) you never need cable again (unless you're a sports fan which I am). Completely automated, maxes out your internet connection and can be completely SSL. All for around $10-15 a month.
I'm really curious if any patent lawyers include a google search of slashdot when they do prior art discovery
Screw the lawyers its their job to get these "processes" patented. The patent office on the other hand we should send http://lmgtfy.com/?q=prior+art to.
I like this approach personally. I think it is weird to treat the phone as a person. I would rather talk to my phone like it is a phone than a woman. (especially if i have to repeat myself:) )
I'd already have switched to Chrome if not for FF's Live Bookmarks. Reading a bunch of different sites, multiple times a day it makes for an easy scan of story titles to see if anything is worth looking at. Otherwise I'd switched long ago and was sad Chrome didn't come with it. I don't want to manage a dedicated app.
Mod parent up. Live bookmarks is the only reason i still use FF and the chrome apps that attempt to replicate come close but aren't there. Should have been in Chrome since version 4...
Wow, the Boston Bruins have more Canadian players than any other team in the league (other than san jose). In fact, there are many more Americans playing for the Vancouver Canucks than there are on the Boston Bruins.
So shut the fuck up.
1993! That was the last time Canada won the Cup. Who cares what nationality the players are the cup is in Boston now and Chicago last year!
So why don't you shut the fuck up and go burn some cars or something.
Who is flashing their phone if they aren't computer literate. I don't know anyone that has modded their phone other than me that isn't nerdy already. Mom and Pop seem pretty safe from this.
Rooting an Android phone (or an iPhone) doesn't take a whole lot of computer savvy. Basically it's script kiddie level - 1. So, you might THINK you know a lot about computers and ROMS and whatnot, but you might not keep up on the security aspect. You might not be the most discerning of people when it comes to a 'neat' app. Further, as the malware designers get more sophisticated, it will be harder to tease out a reputable developer from some jackass trying to screw you.
There will be some 'survival of the fittest' selection here and the vast majority of users that don't root their phones won't have many problems, but there the malware authors think there is enough of a market to spend the time to hack at the platform.
Apparently your reading level is elementary school -1...
We aren't talking about rooting or jail breaking a phone here. This is completely changing the operating system on your phone. It requires quite a bit more time and effort than rooting your phone. Most people who are changing the ROMs on their phones know what they are doing. Only something like 500k use CM which is a tiny fraction of the android user base.
Of course hopefully this isn't news to people who are already computer savy.

I would be leery about that. Most people don't use a passphrase large enough to seriously resist brute force attacks (20 characters minimum is what TC recommends). Plus, even encrypted data is still useful, because an adversary can brute force it at their leisure when stored remotely. Keeping the passwords stored on a device that would require physical access to gives a lot better security and keeps the baddies from getting access in the first place.
According to http://howsecureismypassword.net/ my password would take a million years to brute force. Not to worried about getting it brute forced. Without access to these passwords everywhere (phone/laptop/public computers/tablet) they are useless to me. What good is great security if you have no way to use what that security protects?
I have all my passwords stored in Keepass on Dropbox. I'm not worried about having it hacked and makes accessing my passwords extremely easy and secure.
... and we paid out 2.5 billion dollars so far to developers. Also just out: The Apple app store (the one where you can buy apps for Macs only) is the _largest_ seller of PC software! Beating Walmart, Best Buy and anyone else. And can you tell me any other store that lets developers keep 70% of the revenue.
No, it wasn't change for the sake of change. They have "plans" for the real estate on the right. I don't recall what they had in mind, I just remember thinking, "What if I have no interest in that?"
Either way having me hit the close button when I went for the menu every other time is a real pain in the ass.
Partition Magic is long dead I think, but GParted is a good alternative.
Now all I need is a replacement for Ghost/TrueImage. All the newer versions seem to have redesigned their interfaces to appeal to n00bs who probably shouldn't be imaging their drives anyway. Seriously, anyone who can understand the concept of drive imaging can cope with the old interface.

AirPlay? No.
Can't stream local media. Can't use local wifi - creates its own hotspot. HDMI + USB.
May appeal to the geek, but Mom ain't ever going to figure this one out.
You connect to it using a hotspot and the connect it to your local wifi... Maybe read before you troll?
Re: gun control have a look at a few quotes.
http://thefiringline.com/library/quotes/antifreedom.xml
One of my favourites, due to it's simplicity and honesty (rare for a politician) is
"Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal."
Janet Reno U.S. Attorney General 1993-12-10
I cannot find this quote on anywhere but obviously right-wing pro-gun biased website.
Even if it is true it is a bad example of poor grammar or lack of knowledge. It's like someone saying NIC card instead of simply NIC. Yeah just NIC is the correct version but as it isn't widely known why my a big deal about it?
There is also the unnecessary capitalization of words because people think they're acronyms: I see "WEB" and "FOB" (access tokens) all the time.
Seeing as fob actually is a acronym (frequency operated button) it probably can be FOB or fob.
Cancelling out my mod point.
Padmapper makes it pretty clear who's ad they are showing.
USENET it is.

Now does DT use this 4 billion on TMo's network (LTE!) or save it and sell TMo to someone else. That is the question.

Wish I had mod points for that. Damn grammar nazis!

Well, considering you entered your password into a public-facing website, just to test how secure it is, the answer is...
Your password is not very secure at all.
Yes because they will now go to every dropbox account looking for keepass files, find mine and use my password on it.

Prescott Bush.
Convicted war profiteer, indicted for trading with the enemy.
So it doesn't look like that is true at all. He was never convicted and the funds frozen during the war were given back. Get your facts straight

I really hope it's not called "keepass".
Why
http://keepass.info/
I have all my passwords stored in Keepass on Dropbox. I'm not worried about having it hacked and makes accessing my passwords extremely easy and secure.
Also my resume is on there.
i'm talking about handguns, you're talking about rifles
which, in a way, is my fault for not clearly enunciating
so, if everywhere you saw "gun" you read "handgun" instead of "hunting rifle", do you have any argument with what i said?
Yes you're still wrong. I have shot handguns many time for the enjoyment of it.
